“We gave it a shot and were able to bring our Rye RFV up 24% and Triticale protein up 83%. We are excited to be able to take our feed and make it better for a small investment per bale.”

“I did a test, planted on the same day, with the same variety.  The field treated with Benefit  produced 252 average compared to 230 on the control. It also was 3-4 points dryer on average.”

“My tomato plants and my garden have never looked this good or produced this much.  I also used Hydro on my lawn and it's never been this green in late September.”

“We did a side by side trial on our soybeans in 2021.  We were able to increase the treated by 20bu.  We will be using Benefit on all of our acres next year.”

“Our hay business has been growing in Indiana continuously, and with exponential costs of synthetic fertilizers we needed to find an alternative source to produce our grass hay. We normally fertilize with synthetics heavily 3 times each season for 3 cuttings. This year we almost took out all the synthetic fertilizer and replaced it with Benefit applications. Unfortunately, our area in Indiana was hit with a severe drought which made it difficult to compare previous years tonnage per acre compared to this season with Benefit. I did notice a fast initial growth, and faster green up, but with lack of rain, growth was very limited. I plan to attack next season with the same plan, less synthetics and continue using the Benefit program with the goal of slowly increasing my tonnage each year and totally eliminating the costly synthetic fertilizers. I have been stuck at the 4 tons per acre for years using synthetics, and I am looking forward to breaking that ceiling with Benefit Hay! ”

“We raise cattle in Central Oklahoma and we wanted to fertilize our pastures but fertilizer has gotten really expensive. We decided to do a trial using Benefit Hay biological fertilizer. They said that in addition to fertilizing for more production, the biologicals will improve soil health and increase drought tolerance. They told us to choose part of our pasture for a trial, and to commit at least two or three years because the soil improvements will increase the longer we use Benefit. That was in the spring of 2022 and we had a bad drought in our area that year. But even during the first year of our trial we noticed that where we used Benefit the grass seemed to stay green longer, and it definitely greened-up faster and started growing again faster when we did get rain. In other drought years we've had to feed hay early or even sell off some cattle. This year the neighbor's pastures were out of grass and they started feeding hay before we did, and we didn't have to sell off any cattle. We've decided to continue using Benefit Hay on our pastures and we've already ordered enough to double the number of acres over what we did last year! ”
